Detaljeret beskrivelse

This will be a randomized clinical trial collected from University of Lahore Teaching hospital and Sehat Medical Complex Lahore by using non-probability convenience sampling technique. Multiparous women with a BMI less than 30 kg/m² and have been clinically diagnosed with Diastasis Recti will be included in this study. Participants must be able to perform physical activity without contraindications and must provide informed consent. Women currently pregnant, with significant pelvic floor dysfunction, unmanaged chronic illnesses (e.g., heart disease or hypertension), recent abdominal surgeries within the last six months will be excluded. The sample size is calculated to be 34, with 17 participants in each group. Group A will receive Pilates training, while Group B will undergo progressive prone plank exercises. Each session will last for 45 minute, thrice weekly for four weeks. Pre- and post-treatment evaluations will include pain (Numeric Pain Rating Scale), strength (Manual Muscle Testing), and inter-rectus distance (measured by finger-width method with a Vernier caliper). Data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 27.0.

Våben og indgreb

Deltagergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Eksperimentel: Pilates exercises
All exercises in the Pilates training group will be performed on a mat in a controlled environment under the supervision of a qualified instructor. The focus will be on core activation, controlled breathing, and maintaining neutral spine alignment throughout all movements
Andet: Experimental: Pilates exercises
It will be delivered three times per week for four weeks, with each session lasting approximately 25 minutes
Eksperimentel: Progressive Prone Plank Exercises
Participants will follow a structured progressive prone plank protocol designed to strengthen the core muscles, particularly targeting the transverse abdominus and rectus abdominus, which are crucial in managing Diastasis Recti. All exercises will be performed under supervision, with emphasis on correct posture, controlled breathing, and spinal alignment
Andet: Progressive Prone Plank Exercises
It will be delivered three times per week for four weeks, with each session lasting approximately 25 minutes

Foranstaltningsbeskrivelse
Tidsramme
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
Tidsramme: 4th week
The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a widely used subjective pain measurement tool. It was created as a simple way to assess pain severity. It has a rating range of 0 to 10, with 0 representing no pain, 5 indicating severe discomfort, and 10 denoting the greatest conceivable agony
4th week
Manual muscle testing
Tidsramme: 4th week
Manual muscle testing (MMT) is a fundamental assessment method used by healthcare professionals to evaluate muscle strength, including the gluteus medius and gluteus maximus. (34) It has a scoring range from 0 to 5 where 5 shows maximum strength. It has a reliability range from 0.88 to 0.94. It also has a good validity with 0.62 to 1.00 range
4th week
Finger width method
Tidsramme: 4th week
In this patient were asked to lie in a supine position in crook lying. Patient is instructed to do abdominal crunch till their shoulder is off the couch. By palpation around the protrusion along the linea alba diastasis recti is assessed with 4.5 cm above and below of umbilical. In case of less than 2 fingers breadth there is no diastasis recti. In case of 2 to 3 fingers breadth the diastasis recti is considered mild. In case of 3 to 4 fingers breadth it is considered as moderate and in case of 4 or more than 4 fingers breadth the diastasis recti is considered severe. The measurement will be done with the help of a Vernier caliper. Measurements were taken 4.5 cm above and below the umbilicus during an abdominal crunch, with the caliper placed between the palpated borders of the rectus abdominis. Three readings were taken at each point, and the average was used for analysis
